FedEx Delivery Scam #00000968421

Please share this scam alert with your friends on Facebook and Twitter.

The message below is an example of a phishing scam, one that is similar to the “abandoned shipment” scams used by advance-fee fraudsters. In this case, someone claiming to be from FedEx says they tried to deliver your package (what package?), but couldn’t, and so you should open the attached shipping label to check what went wrong. (The attachment is deleted here for safety.) Never open any attachment you receive from an unknown source — you can be almost certain that it contains a virus or some other gimmick to steal your private information.

Your parcel has arrived at June 28. Courier was unable to deliver the parcel to you.
Shipment Label is attached to email.

Thank you for choosing FedEx,
Jack Berg,
Operation Manager.

Important Note

Please be aware that scammers often use the names of real people and legitimate businesses in their fraudulent messages. Why? To lend an air of legitimacy to their criminal enterprise. Just because the name of a real person or a real bank or a real government agency appears in a scam message that doesn't mean the person or organization in question is involved in the scam in any way. The scammers are just stealing these names in order to make themselves look legitimate.
